LONGEVITY

I recently read an interesting article in which the author indicated a belief that the life-span of human beings could be related to the emotional pain we are willing to endure. In other words, humans seem to be able to bear the sufferings and heartbreak of the world and their personal life for only about 100 years. I thought this was an interesting hypothesis.

Taking this a step further, I believe that authenticity is a determining factor in our ability to create longevity. Consider for example, the person who genuinely can give voice to his or her truth with confidence and good self-esteem, yet without judging or tearing down another human being. Following this logic, an authentic human being would have less depletion on heart energy. They would be able to act with honour and integrity because everything they did would be an action of love.

I believe authenticity is the most noble of qualities that a person can develop. The courage to compliment another person with genuine admiration and without fearing that it will make you seem emotionally weak is a splendid quality. The confidence to critique another’s (or your own) actions and offer beneficial or more effective solutions can be very valuable.

I believe authenticity is intelligence in action and being. It takes no cleverness whatsoever to fight with another person. It takes great intellectual capability to negotiate an evenhanded and fair outcome to disagreeing parties.

I believe it is a brilliant practice to ask our Infinite Angels every day, several times a day, to help us to be authentic and genuine as well as compassionate and caring. The qualities that we develop within will shape our outer world.

Blessings.
